The amaryllis fox had a special ability according to the number of tails it possessed.

In contrast, the tenkorius were born with 9 special abilities, which were managed by the number of its tails.

Although the two were different, they were very similar to each other, so it was easy to misrepresent them.

“What happened though?”

Shinichi entered the room warily. When he did, a room that did not a resemble a faculty greeted him.

The room was filled to the brim with machines, and even an amateur could tell that the devices lined up were high specced.

Unfortunately, there were some of them that were broken; most probably a result of the grasshopper drone going out of control.

Document-looking papers were also scattered on the ground, but there were plenty of papers stacked up dangerously high, so it was hard to tell how much of the mess was actually the grasshopper drone’s fault.

“…Looks like that thing was the only thing to go out of control. I don’t sense anything else moving,” Shinichi said.

“Uu… Huh? What about Shironacchi? Sensei!”

After confirming that nothing else was moving, Myuhi called out loudly for the teacher, but no reply came, so she checked under the desks to see if the person-in-question might have taken refuge there.

Meanwhile, Shinichi found some disassembled parts that looked like that grasshopper atop a workbench.

There were also other parts that probably belonged to a drone atop it.

To a person like him who didn’t know much of Garesto, the various mysterious parts littered around the room gave him a sense of malaise.

“Hmm… This is?”

Among the various things littered, Shinichi happened upon an empty hilt with a guard.
